Will my eSIM work as soon as I land in Dominican Republic?

Yes — install it at home on Wi-Fi before you fly, then switch the line on when you land. It joins a partner network in Dominican Republic automatically, usually before you reach baggage claim. Your days only start counting at that first connection.

Do I keep my own number and WhatsApp in Dominican Republic?

Yes. This is a data-only eSIM that runs alongside your home SIM. Your number stays active for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number the whole trip.

When do my days start counting?

Only when the eSIM first connects to a network in Dominican Republic — not when you buy or install it. Buying ahead of your trip is completely safe.

Which phones work with a Dominican Republic eSIM?

Most phones from 2018 onward: iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, plus many recent Xiaomi, Oppo and Motorola models. Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked — check yours in 30 seconds on our compatibility page.

Can I hotspot my laptop or tablet in Dominican Republic?

Yes — tethering is included wherever the local partner network allows it, at no extra cost. Handy for sharing data with kids' tablets or getting a laptop online.

How much does a Dominican Republic eSIM cost?

Unlimited data from £13.32 per day — the longer the trip, the lower the day rate. A one-week plan starts from £4.09 in total, always shown in full before you pay. No roaming charges can ever appear afterwards.
